9f8e7b0b3b node: cap -dbcache to 1GiB on 32-bit architectures (Antoine Poinsot)
2c43b6adeb init: cap -maxmempool to 500 MB on 32-bit systems (Antoine Poinsot)

Pull request description:

  32-bit architecture is limited to 4GiB of RAM, so it doesn't make sense to set a too high value. A too high value could cause an OOM unbeknownst to the user a while after startup as mempool / dbcache fills.

src/node/

The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state (state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar classes).

Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI code to be maintained in separate source repositories.

As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/, src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.

This directory is at the moment sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like src/validation.cpp and src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
